The United States of Printer400 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, prohibition of alcohol, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.5 billion Printer400ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer400ian economy, worth 807 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,867 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, declaring that "some kids are just born evil" is not endearing Leader to progressive thinkers, healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease, and jaywalking is punishable by public flogging. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer400's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer400 is ranked 96,138th in the world and 1,641st in Two for Largest Populations, with 5.50 billion capita.
